Earlie, That was my thought also, but I don't follow Micron so I had to assume I might be missing something. I'm tempted to buy puts on the opinion of others on this thread, but I want to have a better understanding. Last I heard was that DRAM prices just took out the prior low. So this rally is really sick. I also just read a real negative article on Rambus and that Micron would prefer having little to do with it because of manufacturing complications and "inferior" performance. How many days to go before the 87 - 20 day thing is up? Also, I couldn't find any details about that forced conversion in the 10K. Did you see it in the 10K? Any details? Wayne

Earlie, there's been some discussion on the rambus thread about memory in the Nintendo Dolphin and the new X-Box. I found these news releases on NEC/Nintendo which indicates NEC is going with a new technology for Dolphin. Interesting that it's under license with a company called MoSys. Basically they claim SRAM functionality at DRAM densities, and Rambus like data rates. The rumors are that both Nintendo and X-Box will use DDR technology. I think I've seen references this new technology is DDR like. (I assume this implies R/W to one bank on the leading edge and to another on the trailing edge. Does that make any sense?) Could it be possible that the X-Box will also use this technology. mosysinc.com mosysinc.com TIA Gene
